PRABHU TWO LAST

Asserting that he has now become "a citizen of Andhra Pradesh", following his election to Rajya Sabha from the state yesterday, Prabhu said he performed prayers at Lord Balaji temple atop Tirumala Hills today.

"Andhra Pradesh has Lord Balaji, the biggest asset. I discussed with the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams authorities this morning about developing a world-class railway terminal in Tirupati under Public-Private Partnership (PPP). I am informing the Chief Minister about this now," the minister said.

"Andhra Pradesh would not be lacking in terms of railway support. The state is facing transition difficulties because of the bifurcation. Railways would do everything to help the state," Prabhu said.
